Open video minimized.
I have two monitors. One runs a full screen application the second is where the opencv video window opens. The problem I have is every time a new video plays on the second screen it forces my full screen application to minimize on primary monitor.
Is there a way to have the video window open minimized or not affect the other applications?
Thanks
" every time a new video plays on the second screen it forces my full screen application to minimize" -- why does that happen ? what is your fullscreen app ?
also: os ? which gui toolkit ?
I running windows and the full screen application is a video game: PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds. Not sure what gui kit is.

This sounds to me more like a window manager question and not as much of an opencv question. In a Linux environment, a window manager watches applications starting/stopping/window size/input focus staus, also watches input devices, and notifies affected applications of status changes. The window manager may also choose to minimize, resize, assign focuse, etc. to specific windows, or the applications can decide to do these actions themselves in response to notifications from the window manager. Windows and windows apps probably act similarly.
That is standard windows full screen game behaviour. If during gameplay another window is activated, you minimize the game... there is not really a way of circumventing this. However, if your opencv application does not continously spams new windows for processing, than you can first run your OpenCV app and then fire up the game. That usually works!
